    1. Nvidia abandons x86 desktop gamers
    2. The only hardware that gamers own are ARM handhelds
    3. Some gamers stream x86 games, but devs start selling ARM builds since the x86 market is shrinking
    4. AI bubble pops
    5. Nvidia tries to regain x86 desktop gamers
    6. Gamers are almost entirely on ARM
    7. Nvidia pulls an IBM and vanishes quietly into enterprise services and not much else

      Nvidia does not care about the ISA of the CPU at all. They don’t make it after all. Also not clear how they would kill x86. If they leave the consumer GPU market they cede it to AMD and Intel.

        That’s kinda my point. They’re stuck communicating over PCI-E instead of being a first-class co-processor over AMBA.
